Perfectly Cooked Tofu


I adore perfectly fried tofu. I don't think much gets better then that crispy and delicate perfection. My way of doing it:
Slice xtra firm tofu into squares and heat up olive oil in skillet. Gently, place the tofu on and season with salt and pepper. Do not flip for a few minutes.

In this dish above, when I flipped I added a tad of vegetable broth, this delicious orange soy marinade and a little soy sauce. Make sure the liquids cook down and flip again if desired. I usually do for extra texture and flavor. I also added in fresh minced garlic....mmmm.

The veggies are just green beans and cut white corn I made in some veg broth with salt and pepper. Time efficient and so good. 

I also baked up 3 batches of whole wheat chocolate chip pumpkin muffins. Recipe next time, promise! This weekend kicked my ass, I need some napping before tonight. Some fun photos from the last few days. (I slept in a college dorm last night, and I barely slept in a college dorm when I was even in college! Such an experience ;)

No, no... my MOM is not eating turkey after watching that video. Sarah Palin, I am sure, had no problem visiting that slaughterhouse :o(
(We've all seen the picture of her with caribu blood on her as she was hunting...)
